Ms Bishop then had a dig at Mr Burke, saying Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese appeared to have replaced him as Manager of Opposition Business.

"The former leader of the house, who is now apparently the acting manager of government - opposition business - has given the chair advice," Ms Bishop said.

"The question is that the motion be agreed to. If the Manager of Opposition Business is raising a point of order to resume his status then it is acknowledged."

Mr Burke responded with a dissent motion in Ms Bishop's rulings.

"The comments that you made with respect to me would be interjections that were reasonable when you were merely in this House as a Member for Mackellar, rules that were reasonable for any minister to get up and try to make a half-funny, childish interjection," he said.

"But you need to recognise, Madam Speaker, that you are meant to be impartial.

"You need to recognise, Madam Speaker, that the office you hold is greater and more important than your own political rhetoric."

Manager of Government Business Christopher Pyne tried to shut down debate.

"It's time this farce was brought to an end. I move the Member be no longer heard," he said.

Shutting down the dissent motion angered Labor further, and there were 12 gag motions.
